The  Southern  Wagon. 


Come  all  ye  sons  of  Freedom  and  join  our  Southern  band, 
We're  going  to  fight  the  enemy  and  drive  them  from  our  land ; 
Justice  is  our  motto  and  Providence  our  guide. 
So  jump  into  the  wagon  and  we'll  all  take  a  ride. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon. 

The  Dissolution  wagon, 
The  South  is  our  wagon, 
And  we'll  all  take  a  ride. 

Secession  is  our  watchword,  our  riglits  wc  all  demand. 
And  to  defend  our  firesides  we  pledge  our  heart  and  hand  ; 
Jeff.  Davis  is  our  President,  with  Stephens  by  his  side — 
Brave  Beauregard  our  General  will  join  us  in  the  ride. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon. 

Our  wagon's  plenty  ijpnough,  the  runing  gear  it  good, 

'Tis  stuffed  with  Cotton  round  the  sides  and  made  of  Southern  wood  ; 

Carolina  is  the  driver,  with  Georgia  by  her  side, — 

Virginia'll  hold  our  Flag  up  and  we'll  all  take  a  ride. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon. 

There's  Tennessee  and  Texas  also  in  the  ring — 
They  would'nt  have  a  government  where  Cotton  was'nt  King  : 
Alabama  too  and  Florida  have  long  ago  replied — 
Mississippi's  in  the  wagon  and  anxious  for  the  ride. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon. 

Missouri,  North  Carolina  and  Arkansas  are  slow — 
They  must  hurry  or  we'll  leave 'cm,  and  then  where  would  they  go? 
There's  Old  Kentuck  and  Maryland  each  won't  make  up  there  minds, 
So  I  reckon  after  all  we'll  have  to  take  them  up  behind. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon. 

Our  cause  is  just  and  holy,  our  men  are  brave  and  true — 
To  fight  for  our  Confederate  flag  is  all  we'll  have  to  do : 
God  bless  our  noble  army,  in  Him  we  all  confide, 
So  jump  into  the  wagon  and  we'll  all  take  a  ride. 

Chorus — Wait  for  the  wagon , 

The  Dissolution  wagon, 
Tho  South  is  our  wagon 
And  we'll  all  take  a  ride.
